Public Access

The public server was connected to the router via ethernet (LAN), which wasn't really necessary as it had already been connected via Wi-Fi whilst being set up. Consequently the cable was removed. This also explained why I was seeing two records in the router for the same computer one for the LAN and one for Wi-FI

Redirect a domain via Fasthosts DNS (ns1.livedns.co.uk etc. )
Set the A record for the domain [rogerlovejoy.uk] to that of the router :: 217.155.51.23
Router's automatically have port 80 open for http traffic
The server has been named [ELFApache128] has been given a dedicated IP of 192.168.178.37
Accessible
Publicly :: http://217.155.51.23 | http://rogerlovejoy.uk
Privately :: http://ElfApache128

July 15th
3 domains have been transferred to ElfApache128
~ lovejoy.org.uk
~ rogerlovejoy.uk
~ ogerlovejoy.co.uk

August 21st EDITED
rogerlovejoy.uk is the default home page for the router and virtual hosts have been established to access each domain independently.

RE: lovejoy.org.uk

Although the DNS on Fasthosts was directed to the ElfServer early on 13th July there has been no proper update.

Just after 12pm (11GMT) I edited the website to show the DNS, which had changed.

At 12:30 the site at Krystal is no longer visible but the one on Elf is not.

13:50 Called Fasthosts and they have the new site, so it’s some UK propagation that is slow
14:00 Called Zen who passed the buck to Nominet, not sure about their involvement.
14:15 Called Nominet 01865332211 who affirmed they do not deal with DNS
20:00 After more calls no resolve via the FritzBox. Using the Plusnet ADSL and BT Hub3 there is no problem ??

July 14th
01:32 Still no joy
09:00 OK Both rogerlovejoy.uk and lovejoy.org.uk resolve to the ElfServer via browse on Raspberry and Fairphone and traceroute works fine.
10:54 Change DNS for rogerlovejoy.co.uk to ZenBox too.

July 16th
08:00 lovejoy.org.uk, rogerlovejoy.uk and rogerlovejoy.co.uk resolve to ElfServer

It has taken 48hrs on average for the names to resolve ??
